One of the most famous comedies of theatre literature, Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, is at the same time regarded as the most frequently performed work of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. In this Midsummer night, ghosts, elves, goblins, kings and donkeys get caught up in enchanting confusions.

The version presented at the Wiener Konzerthaus is something really special. World-famous actor Klaus Maria Brandauer created a unique text version, in which he acts as the narrator but also impersonates all the male and female characters of Shakespeare’s comedy. This literary masterpiece consorts extremely well with Mendelssohn’s music.

Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92 constitutes the first part of the concert; the performance of the exquisite KlangVerwaltung Orchestra Munich is conducted by Enoch zu Guttenberg.

Klaus Maria Brandauer, the soprano Susanne Bernhard, the mezzo-soprano Julia Faylenbogen, the women’s choir of the Chorgemeinschaft Neubeuern and the KlangVerwaltung Orchestra Munich with their conductor Enoch zu Guttenberg will bring memorable joy to the Viennese audience.
